Tag Archives: orange cake from scratch

I think every baker dreams of the day of when they make up their first recipe. For me, that day is today! 🙂 (or I guess technically it was yesterday. But still.)

I was talking with my friend The Culinary Cheesehead about various cakes that you can make for summer – especially in this insane heat that we are having here in the Midwest. (In case you have missed it, in Chicago we just broke the record for the highest “low” – we never got below 80. And today is supposed to be 99 with a heat index of 112. Sigh.)

In the midst of our chatting, Paula mentioned an Orange Creamsicle cake, which sounded absolutely delectable… and after she mentioned it, it just didn’t leave my mind at all.
